  • Baby Giraffe Rope-Pulled out of Mother Suffering from Dystocia Without Proper Restraint Device
    J Vet Clin 26(1) : 113-116 (2009) Baby Giraffe Rope-Pulled Out of Mother Suffering from Dystocia without Proper Restraint Device Hwan-Yul Yong1, Suk-Hyun Park, Myoung-Keun Choi, So-Young Jung, Dae-Chang Ku, Jong-Tae Yoo, Mi-Jin Yoo, Mi-Hyun Yoo, Kyung-Yeon Eo, Yong-Gu Yeo, Shin-Keun Kang and Heon-Youl Kim Seoul Zoo, Gwacheon 427-080, Korea (Accepted : January 28, 2009 ) Abstract : A 4-year-old female reticulated giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata), at Seoul Zoo, Gwacheon, Korea had a male calf with no help of proper restraint devices. The mother giraffe was in a danger of dystocia more than 7 hours in labor after showing the calf’s toe of the foreleg which protruded from her vulva. After tugging with a snare of rope on the metacarpal bone of the calf and pulling it, the other toe emerged. Finally, with two snares around each of metacarpal bones, the calf was completely pulled out by zoo staff. After parturition, the dam was in normal condition for taking care of the calf and her progesterone hormone had also dropped down to a normal pre-pregnancy.

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Giraffe Are the World's Tallest Animal, They Can Reach 5.8 Metres Tall
    Animal welfare refers to an animal’s state or it’s feelings. An animal’s welfare state can be positive, neutral or negative. An animal’s welfare has the potential to differ on a daily basis. When an animal’s needs - nutritional, behavioural, health and environmental - are met, they can have good welfare. A good life in captivity might be one where animals can consistently experience good welfare throughout their entire life. Understanding that animals are sentient and have cognitive abilities as well as pain perception, reinforces the need to provide appropriate husbandry for all captive animals, to ensure they have good welfare. In captivity, the welfare of an animal is dependent on the physical and behavioural environment provided for them and the daily care and veterinary treatment they receive. It is therefore very important we understand their behavioural and physiological needs, so we can meet those needs in captivity. Giraffe are the world's tallest animal, they can reach 5.8 metres tall. They are found across sub-Sahara Africa in dry forest, shrubland and savannah habitats. The current understanding is there are nine sub-species of giraffe although it is now thought they are separated into four distinct species. The giraffe is classified by the IUCN as vulnerable to extinction. It is estimated there are less than 70,000 giraffe left in the wild and the population is declining. This is due to habitat loss and hunting. Giraffes like to Eat Giraffes are herbivores, they can eat up to 45 kg of leaves, bark and twigs a day.

    STATUS AND MEAT CONSUMPTION IN POMPEII: Diet and its Social Implications through the Analysis of Ancient Primary Sources and Zooarchaeological Remains Vicki Moses Honors Thesis in the Department of Anthropology University of Michigan April 2012 Acknowledgements All along the process of this research, I have been lucky to be surrounded by support. The academic support I have received from my thesis advisors, Dr. Lisa Young and Dr. Laura Motta, has Been above and beyond my wildest expectations. Dr. Lisa Young has introduced me to the steps in undertaking an enormous research project, both in the structure of doing so and in how to win the emotional battle. I appreciate her availability and approachability in all aspects of my education. Dr. Laura Motta has given me extensive insight into academic writing through her thoughtful and helpful comments as well as guided me with her expertise regarding food in the Roman world. You have both helped me write a thesis of which I am proud. Without the help of my Honors Thesis Mentor, University of Michigan Graduate Student Emily Holt, I would not have had the opportunity to work on this exciting project. Her guidance on the subject matter and also on academic writing has been vital to my research. She allowed me access to her extensive database and faunal material from PARP:PS. I am so grateful for the hours she has spent training me as a zooarchaeologist in the laB and editing my thesis. You are a great role model to me. Thank you to my family and friends who have helped me throughout this process, especially my parents.

  • Fire and Animal Behavior
    Proceedings: 9th Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference 1969 Komarek, E.v. 1969. Fire and animal behavior. Pages 160-207 in E.V. Komarek (conference chariman). Proceedings Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference: No.9. Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference. 9. Tall Timbers Research Station, Tallahassee, FL. Fire and Animal Behavior E. V. KOMAREK, SR. Tall Ti'mbers Researcb Station Tallabassee, Florida , THE REACTIONS and relationships of animals to fire, the charcoal black burn, the straw-colored and later the green vegetation certainly attracted the attention of primitive man and his ancestors. In "Fire-and the Ecology of iV'lan" I proposed that man himself is the product of a fire environment-"pre-'man prirrtates as well as early Ulan inhabited fire environrnents and had to be 'fire­ selected' ... to live in such environments." (Komarek, 1967). Therefore, man's ultimate survival, as had been true with other ani­ mals that live in fire environments, depends upon a proper under­ standing of fire and the relationships of animals and plants to this element. 1V10dern literature, particularly in the United States, has been so saturated with the reputed dangers of forest fires to animals that he has developed a deep seated fear of all fires in nature. In this nation, the average individual is only beginning to realize the proper place of fire and fire control in forest, grassland and field. Unfortunately, much knowledge on fire and animal behavior that was common in­ formation to the American Indian, pioneers, and early farm and ranch people has been lost though in some parts of the ·world a large body of this knowledge still exists.
